NS Executive Power

While looking up some info on the NS's executive F-units I found this recent footage taken of the Derby Special sent down to Louisville this year and thought other might enjoy.  Apparently the photographer got lucky and caught the train passing through Conway yard near Rochester, PA and trailed it 200 miles through PA and OH to near Columbus.

It's too bad they tend to hush up these movements.  It must have gone down through Cincinnati

This is at Conway:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/fan-t/5673979641/

And near Columbus, OH  http://www.flickr.com/photos/fan-t/5675699846/

Again, not my video, but I thought there might be interest.

Extra groovy!  I hate to say it, but those SOU-lookin' F units totally smoke the old green CR E's.

Potatoes don't count...?  Lots of hand-cut (and shaped) fried potatoes?
